I enjoyed compiling the list of tweets this week. It’s been a great week, full of jokes and ‘banter’ and some absolutely terrible takes and horrific take downs.
Enjoy.
Puscas is up there with our worst ever signings. Absolutely dreadful player.

We start with a scorching hot take. I’m not sure I can get on board the thought of Puscas being worse than Karl Sheppard or Emerse Fae.
With us now having a very slim chance of the playoffs would you play a slightly weakened team on Wednesday to go full strength for the cup on Saturday? #readingfc

I’m heartened by the response to this poll. 81% of Reading fans aren’t throwing in the towel for the play-offs, which is good. 19% are wrong. Just wrong.
1 loss and you give up

Sunday’s are shite but they’re even shitter when you realise the next away day is Reading FC

I have no idea what Reading fans have done to rattle the cages of most of the league’s other fans, but... It appears we have.

Ruddy marvellous. Happy birthday, Alan, from Mr. Tweets Of The Week.
If #ReadingFC are to reach Playoffs, we can only drop 4 points for every 5 games we play.
— (@GarethD_) January 20, 2020
That's an average of 2.2 points per game, giving us an approximate 77 point finish.

For the nerdier readers among you, this is the formula for potential promotion.
Reading currently sat atop of the Championship for fewest goals conceded from corners. #ReadingFC https://t.co/2s3XlAqNAb

Slick in attack, mean at the back, it’s Blue Army!
Happy 33rd Birthday to Shane Long!

One of my first man crushes. Super swoon when you realise the Irishman can play guitar too.
I don't like exposing tweets but this typifies @lukesouthwood1. Unwavering commitment, wants to stay, wants a career here and prefers shorter deals so he keeps pushing himself to improve. Cracking loan at @accies once he got his first break. The lads going places. #ReadingFC pic.twitter.com/vq3c8504Sa

I don’t want Rafael to leave, but I also want Southwood to play at some point soon. Two goalkeepers, anyone?
@ReadingFC I wonder if Matt Miazga could become the man up front to hold the ball up and be a strong presence in the opponents box? What do you think @TimDellor & @willow1871 ?? Let’s hope for a big win at Forest tonight!!!
— Tom Jordan (@tomjordan332) January 22, 2020
Staggering. Truly staggering.
And then...
That is creative and brilliant. Will never happen in football but would be a sensible solution.
— Tim Dellor (@TimDellor) January 22, 2020
Why Miazga and not Morisson? Why Miazga and not Moore? Are we just naming big players? Not a chance in hell could he play there. Just my thoughts. Urzzz
— Ady Williams (@willow1871) January 22, 2020
Wait for it...
I hope Tim's not driving you all up to Nottingham tonight lads as he's evidently been on the whiskey a while

How long are Reading fans 13 out for? #readingfc https://t.co/XBQMhHDGu3
— George (@_GeorgeRFC) January 22, 2020
Normally it’s the opposition that takes the mic out of the Number 13 thing. Now even our own are turning against us.

I like this lad. He’s good.
RT and ask your friends guys we need you all. I promise I throw 5 jerseys in the crowd behind me after the final whistle (and the win) if you guys gather enough people !! Let's get it Forrest ⚪️

Fair play Forest, held the lead for 4 minutes tonight #NFFC #readingfc

I sense a fresh new ‘fake rivalry’ brewing...
That’s your lot. Now go and get some fresh air.
